Undisputed

The AMD Ryzen 9 5900X and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 combination delivers exceptional performance in Undisputed, ranking in the top 21% of all tested combos (rank 327 out of 1580). The data reveals a system that is overwhelmingly GPU-bound at higher resolutions, yet capable of extreme frame rates at 1080p, making it a versatile choice for both competitive and high-fidelity play.

Resolution Scaling

The performance drop from 1080p to 4K clearly indicates where the bottleneck lies in this pairing. At 1080p with Low settings, the combo achieves a staggering 405.1 FPS, but this falls to 293 FPS at 1440p and 186.1 FPS at 4K. This scaling pattern—a 28% reduction from 1080p to 1440p, and another 36% reduction to 4K—demonstrates that the RTX 5070 is the limiting factor; the Ryzen 9 5900X has ample headroom to feed the GPU at lower resolutions.

The frame rate drop becomes even more pronounced at higher quality presets. Moving from 1080p Ultra (156 FPS) to 4K Ultra (72.6 FPS) represents a 53% performance loss, which is a typical signature of a GPU-bound scenario. Conversely, the difference between 1440p High (174.1 FPS) and 1080p High (241.6 FPS) is a 39% gap, again highlighting that the graphics card is the primary constraint as resolution increases.

Interestingly, the scaling from Medium to High settings at 4K shows only a 17% performance penalty (132.2 to 109.8 FPS), while the jump from High to Ultra at the same resolution costs 34% (109.8 to 72.6 FPS). This suggests that the Ultra preset introduces effects that are disproportionately demanding on the GPU, making it the least scalable option across all resolutions.

Players with 120Hz 4K displays will find this preset ideal, as it maintains a frame rate that is high enough to stay within the display's refresh window.

For players who prioritize frame rate above all else, 1080p Low (405.1 FPS) is the clear winner. This setting is designed for maximum responsiveness, and the data shows that the Ryzen 9 5900X is more than capable of sustaining such extreme performance. However, the visual compromise is significant, so this is best reserved for highly competitive scenarios.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo's rank of 327 out of 1580 tested configurations places it in the top 20.7% of all systems tested for Undisputed. This is a strong showing, indicating that the pairing of the Ryzen 9 5900X and RTX 5070 is well-suited for this title. While it does not break into the top echelon, its position suggests it outperforms the vast majority of setups, particularly those with less powerful GPUs.

The rank is consistent with the measured frame rates, which show that the system can handle high refresh rates at 1440p and even 4K with appropriate settings. The deltaPct values for the CPU's nearest rivals, such as the Intel Core i7-13700F (0.9% slower) and AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8845HS (0.7% faster), show that the 5900X is competitive with modern alternatives, but the overall ranking is more heavily influenced by the RTX 5070's performance.

Given that the GPU's benchmark scores place it near the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 (0.6% faster in average benchmark score), the combo's rank is in line with what would be expected from a high-end graphics card paired with a capable enthusiast CPU. The data indicates that this is a well-balanced system for Undisputed, with no single component dragging down the overall result.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 9 5900X is a 12-core, 24-thread processor based on the Zen 3 architecture, with a base clock of 3.70 GHz and a boost clock of 4.80 GHz. Its performance in Undisputed is demonstrated by the high frame rates at 1080p, where the CPU has the most influence. The 405.1 FPS at Low settings shows that the CPU's single-thread performance is more than sufficient to avoid becoming a bottleneck.

The CPU's multi-threaded capabilities, highlighted by its Cinebench R23 multicore score of 33150 and 3DMark max thread score of 10075, are not heavily taxed by this sports title. The data suggests that Undisputed is not a highly parallel workload, as the frame rate scaling from 1080p to 4K is primarily dictated by the GPU. The CPU's passmark multithread score of 39002 places it in the 90th percentile of all CPUs, but this headroom is largely unused in this game.

The 64 MB of L3 cache and dual-channel DDR4 memory support provide ample bandwidth for the CPU to feed the GPU. The benchmark results show that the 5900X is a strong performer, but its role in Undisputed is primarily to ensure that the GPU is never starved of data. The data indicates that the CPU is not the limiting factor in any of the tested configurations.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers exceptional performance across all presets. Low settings produce 405.1 FPS, Medium yields 291.4 FPS, High reaches 241.6 FPS, and Ultra drops to 156 FPS. These figures show a clear progression, with the Ultra preset representing a 35% reduction from High, indicating its heavy impact on the GPU.

At 2560x1440, the frame rates remain very high. Low settings achieve 293 FPS, Medium provides 208.5 FPS, High delivers 174.1 FPS, and Ultra falls to 113.4 FPS. The drop from High to Ultra at 1440p is 35%, mirroring the trend seen at 1080p, but the absolute numbers are still strong enough for high-refresh-rate gaming.

At 3840x2160, the performance becomes more demanding. Low settings still produce 186.1 FPS, which is impressive for 4K, but Medium drops to 132.2 FPS, High to 109.8 FPS, and Ultra to 72.6 FPS. The scaling from Medium to High at 4K is a 17% decrease, while the High to Ultra transition costs 34%, showing that the Ultra preset is disproportionately expensive at this resolution.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 is the primary driver of performance in Undisputed, and the data clearly shows that the game's frame rate is heavily dependent on this component. The GPU's 12 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 192-bit bus provides 672.0 GB/s of bandwidth, which is sufficient for all tested settings and resolutions. The GPU's average benchmark score of 41687 places it in the 83rd percentile of all GPUs, and its nearest rivals include the RTX 3090 (0.6% faster) and Tesla M40 (0.5% slower).

The GPU's clock speeds, with a base of 2325 MHz and a boost of 2512 MHz, contribute to its strong performance. The measured FPS data shows that the RTX 5070 excels at lower resolutions, but its capabilities are stretched at 4K Ultra, where it delivers 72.6 FPS. The GPU's DirectX 12 Ultimate support is fully utilized, as the game benefits from the latest rendering features.

The GPU's FP32 performance of 30.87 TFLOPS and its 6144 shading units are clearly more than enough for this title, as evidenced by the high frame rates at 1440p and 1080p. The data indicates that the RTX 5070 is a very capable card for Undisputed, but the Ultra preset at 4K pushes it to its limits, resulting in a frame rate that may not be ideal for all users.
